Ll berni reduction nuulo fur large Au e/ertlsoti reata. NO LABOR PARTY". The Century thinks that tho po litisai labor movoment la nota transient phenomenon, but ono Which Will continue until ita object is attained. There can he no doubt but that thc political labor move ment is destined tobe a potent fac tor in shaping the platforms of po litical parties, but it cannot act in tlependantly and exist as a party. This is evident for various reasons. Ambitions leaders ever and anon piny upon tho passions and preju dices of tho laboring men to accom plish their ambitions schemes, but lind that while the labOrres aro nu merically able to become formida ble rivals to the parties now itt ex distance, they cannot act with unanimity. The work of improv ing tho eotidition of the toiling masses is a great political and so cial problem, but it cannot be solv ed by the formation of a labor par ty. Even though such a thing were possible, an exclusively working men's party is hy no means desira ble. There arc more difficult prob lems, grander issues, to engage politicians than the adjustment of the complaints of laborers. However high the aspirations of labor organizations, when they, as such turn to polities they become dupes of designing men who pan der to them for their own profer ment. It ts the duty Of every pa triotic citizen to look these prob lems square in the face-let them be careful at the polls to givo jus tice to all. American laborers should learn that whatever griev ances they have, may be correc ted within the ranks of democracy. No exclusive party is needed, but the rights of all classes of citi zens will be guarded and evils rem edied, by a strict adherance to the grand old democratic principles. "When we read the pagos of our great dally papers and scan the events that are set dov n as the history of this age, it is "enough to shake confidence in the progress of our civilization; and the question arises, is not the public conscience being corrupted ? Every day brings a fresh account of some merchan tlle failure through the rascality ol those in responsible positions Young men read these accounts o defaulting bank officers, of unfaith faithful railroad employees; the\ seo men brought to trial, and il perchance the evidence be over whelming, they aro convicted Then if the convict has occupied "a high position in society, after the first naroxism, when the am ou ice ment ls made, this society w del has been outraced, melts in, a floor of sympathetic tears, ai din a shon time, those who shot d inaintnir tho right, and teach the rising gen oration the terrors of tho way ol tlic transgressor, are engaged ii the work of securing tho liberty ol tho offender and reinstating him in his former position of honor. Public opinion ls too lax on thc subject of crime, and after all lt U the most powerful agency for it* suppression. When society cham pions wrong, by extending it> arm.? to criminal, albeit gentlemanly criminals, tho inevitable tendency is to debauch tho conscience ol young men, who are watching the scene, Knowing that ere long the> too must cuter the arena. When professional men fail te denounce rascality and crime from policy, when legislators bend con science to the side of moneyed cor porations; when those who hold tito funds of widows and) orphans Speculate with trust funds, when these things do not bring public condemnation, yoting men arc mntle to believe that tho harm b notso much in stealing, as tho man ner in which lt ls done. Iti8a trite, but none thc less true saying that there is no excellence without labor. Mun is so consen ted that occupai ion is essential to happiness. Tho earth lias been made to^yleld mun an abundance of such things ns are necessary to sustain life, and satisfy bis desires, but no where can he find his wants sup plied without some exertion on his port. The earth will yield bount fuly, but only when ?ho ground ls carefully prepared and cultivated. Nothing is moro contcmptable than the spirit which regards manual labor, as degrading. Work,--ceus less activity, ls the grand low of the universe. The world to-day is filled With men who ure trying to live without work nnel as Horace Greeley once said: ''Tho darkest hour in the history of any young man is when be sits down to study how to get money without earning it." Tho THORN WK LL ORPHAN AGE I, teated in ("linton, South Carolina, (un institution under tho caro of bono voient people everywhere,) wus origin a teil by the Presbyterian ? 'burch, ami is undo* the ?arv of that denomination, but it dors not confino it -s benefits to orphans of any denomination or locality. More than half its warda uro from other States than South Carolina, and from other denominations than tho Presbyterian. Ten states and seven denominations uro repre s juted ftmo'ig its inmates. Thc Orphanage wus first thought of only twelve years ago and from I tho beginning has depended f-.r its j all upon the voluntary donations of persons who could give only small sums. Poor men have built it, only a few wealthy donors being counted among Its patrons. From tho small beginning of a fifty cent pieee, it now has a farm of over a hundred aeres, three substantial stone dwellings, a large stone School building valued nt $8,000, and two other buildings also of stone, for industrial purposes; a commited property In all of over Thirty Thousand Dollars. Tho number of Inmates In tho Institution is over sixty and ill is increasing rapidly. These are fed, clothed, educated the year round, and provided with all nec essary Dupplics, nt u cost of about $3.000 annually, all of which ls do nated hy persons who road accounts like this, and send their gifts to the President: REV. WM. P. JACOBS, Cl nton. A peculiarity of the Orphanage ls, that the Orphans are retained in tho Institution, only hy the sense of their need and advantage. They aro not hound in or hound out. They do not belong to tho controll ing Board, but come to stay ns loup; they eau be benefited and leave whoo titted to take caro of them selves. IT IS WELL TO REMEMBER. That every path hath a puddle That tho fruit ol success ripens slowly. That he is the richest who wants the 'east. That a million dollars will not buy a ray of .sunshine. That the greatest of faults is to he conscious of none. That the brightest thoughts some times come from the dullest look in"; men. That Methuselah, even, never complained of time hanging heavy on his hands. That all of thc good things of this world are of nb further good than as they are no use. That a newspaper may ho a sew er, or a stream of pure water, ac cording to Its source. That what a man gets for noth ing ho is very apt to value at Just about what it costs him. Thal we often unlock' tho door of fate with our own hands, and then throw tho key away. That compliments and congratu lations cost nothing hut pens, ink and paper, or-words. That the easiest way to outwit the world is to let it bcllovo that it is smarter than you are. That there eau bc no greater mis take than the stopping to weary over a mistake already made That with contentment the low est hovel is more of a palace than the loftiest mansion without it. That while few are qualified to shine in company, ic is in tho pow er of most people to be agreeable. That our homes are like instru ments of i tusic, of which a single discordant String destroys thc sweetness. That the path of life is beset with thorns, and that they o ho arc not afraid to encounter them may gath er the rare flowers that grow be tweon. Mr. EDISON NEW ll)KA Telegraphing Through Water Without Aid nf Wires Though' Be Possible. NEW YoitK, -May 10-Thoma i A. Edison has returned from Florida with the result of his wireless tele graphic experiments in shape to put to prac tical use. His laud sta tions were not so satisfactory as thc sub-marine circuits. The lat ter, he says, demonstrated that tel egraphing through watet without wires will ultimately he made pos siblo, so that cables will he render ed useless, ami ships he able to sig nal through the water, no matter what the condition of the weather may he. The earth current experi ments are thought to have develop ed some wonderful possibilities in the way utilizing the polar circuits as motor power, hut Edison ls reti cent about this. Mr. Edison's health is greatly Im proved. It is understood he will continue experimenting, and hopes very soon to give the world a gen uine surprise.
